tetris n. 3

Cupick postcards are made of premium quality semi-gloss paper, with a superior writing surface to pour your heart's contents. The postcards are sold in sets of four, and are placed in between two cardboard plates and shipped in a mailer envelope.

From the series “Tetris”, oil and pencil on paper. Original size: 32 x 40 cm. 2010.
In the popular video game Tetris, pieces of various shapes slowly come down from above. The aim of the game is to be able to stick them in as they fall, avoiding the creation of voids. The making of a line devoid of interruptions will allow the disappearance of all the elements that compose it and the continuation of the game. But little by little the pieces accumulate, the thinking time is reduced and the stress increases, until a final piece arrives to occupy the space available above, and the game ends.
In these drawings, block after block, row after row, something slowly accumulates and at the end fills the entire space. A horizontal bar at the top of the sheet indicates that the game is over.
